Amanda was about 11 when the picture was taken. Amanda's father, Cornelius, was born in Holland. Her mother was born in Illinois but her maternal grandparents were born in Holland and Germany. The family lived at an unnumbered location on Indiana Street in 1900, and "on the Calumet River bank" in 1910. One of her brother's WWI draft registrations gives the address as 134th Street and ICRR (Illinois Central Railroad), which is why I have located the family where they are on my map of the kid's locations.

Amanda was a cousin of Albert and Harry Stump, as her mother and their father were siblings.

Amanda's father was a day laborer in 1900 and a fisherman in 1910. I lose track of her after 1910 as she probably married.
